Barry Norman interviews Harrison Ford

[@kathaxgr]

I love his voice so much😭😍😔

[@wscott88]

I audio taped this in '85, so it's fantastic to actually see it again - thanks so much!

[@gabrielswayze4506]

Do you have an inserting memory of the occasion?

[@maple1255]

What a refreshingly honest interview with Harrison Ford, clearly he is an intelligent, very insightful man. He enjoys that success has brought him the ability to choose which projects on which he works. His goal is to be recognized as an actor, the rest of it is not that important to him.

[@andyjohnson4907]

Intelligent, insightful, and incredibly grumpy. His acting talent really shines through when he convincingly plays a likable and charismatic character.

[@maple1255]

@@andyjohnson4907 Well said, Harrison definitely has an edge, as you say 'incredibly grumpy'. My two favorites with him are Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Regarding Henry. Two very different characters.

[@andyjohnson4907]

@@maple1255 Yeah, Regarding Henry doesn't get the love it deserves. I remember really enjoying Mosquito Coast, which is worth a watch if you can find it anywhere.

[@ucheucheuche]

It's crazy that there's no guarantee you'll be in the right place at the right time to make it. I can completely imagine there being another up-and-coming guy, just like Harrison Ford, who was in the wrong place at the right time when Star Wars was being cast. And now that guy is living an ordinary life.

[@ladybladebinder7059]

rewatching this with the sad news of Mr Norman's death.. I think this may be one of the most relaxed/talkative interviews I've seen with Ford. And I get what he meant re tech - I remember SW coming out and most of my age group were all about the spaceships and light sabres. I had to get a bit older before I appreciated the people side..

[@MALONEYCAMFIELD]

"I found Barry Norman to be an annoying, pompous twat!" Norman could be like that but to be fair to him he was one of the few leading critics to acknowledge the greatness of Spielberg long before many other critics acknowledged it starting with Schindler's List.

[@andreiadeandrade9608]

There is an awesome interview with the stunning Brazilian actress Bruna Lombardi with Harrison in 1992. The movie was Patriot Games. The interview was very interesting and cool. Look it up on KZbin : Gente de Expressao Harrison Ford.

[@markant9534]

@Steve VC He had a warmth but was very vague.

[@88feji]

The begining the guy said Harrison was overwhelmed in the past by the technology and the action .. what a thing to say, the guy stood out in those iconic films ..

[@drummerman1964]

Yes, Harrison Ford was overwhelmed in "those" movies...of course, that´s why he is stll here in the business in 2016 ! No special effects can overwhelm an actor like this...I mean, look at him...

[@88feji]

Christian Springer-Haslbeck Star Wars fans cannot stop quoting how much they love Han and Chewie and the witty dialogues in the original triology .. of course there are those who love the fighter ships and gadgets but those fan boys are hardly the majority ..

[@MALONEYCAMFIELD]

There's some truth in that actually. He wasn't taken very seriously by critics until he got his Academy Award nomination for Witness. He's still never won an Oscar despite being probably the most iconic and popular American film star of his generation, if not all time.

[@athenare313]

@@MALONEYCAMFIELD but he got the AFL

[@smithcj218]

He will always be a boyhood hero for an entire generation from 1977 onwards.... I wonder if he still kept his woodwork skills going...

[@harrisdupree3323]

Yes, he lives on an 800 acre ranch in Montana with a huge woodworking shop. Not sure he still flies his choppers but for years he worked with the Forest Service and State Police on retrieving lost hikers and climbers in his bell Ranger.

[@anni1712]

Thanks for the Video👍,Harrison is so Sweet💚

[@johnkalkirtz658]

I will never do another star wars movie lol 😂

[@AvesPasseri-Jinysvet]

Yeah.... and Indiana Jones? Twice would be enough, I guess. :-))))))

[@theoriginalthinker9199]

5:38 This is the first time I've ever seen Harrison talk about his looks. Apparently, he's not aware of his massive appeal towards women!

[@rossignolnicole1061]

I love this voice...also

[@davidjoe3368]

This interview is from May 21st 1985, which explains why he looks like John Book from Witness! A few years after this Interview, he would look like he did here Playing the character Rusty in Presumed Innocent.

[@JP1234815]

That phrase 'Never say never' springs to mind with this interview. Harrison Ford did 1 more Star Wars film and has completed another Indiana Jones after the one he was referring to (with one more planned).

[@michael-bell]

Interesting that he said back then that people don't go to the movies to see special effects, they go for an emotional connection to the story and characters. Ha! It seems the superhero craze has now created an audience that seeks the exact opposite

[@ppuh6tfrz646]

I like his dry sense of humour.

[@nigmaticz9995]

Wow young, although he was 41 there.

[@dvsdvsdvs329]

Wow older then me but still young

[@juliashar]

thats young

[@ppuh6tfrz646]

42.

[@indianasolo3947]

ooo he has no idea how much women love his face xD

[@madelynnnewmann7528]

I am one of those many woman

[@markant9534]

He looks a bit like Steve Martin.

[@hamburgareable]

Oh, do shut up! XD!!

[@amerginmaceccit9054]

What a great Jack Ryan he is.

[@noellecox3952]

Also love him in witness as well

[@Zazu-u5z]

Why were many men's voices louder?

[@jays1850]

I like how Harrison said he was just looking for “ STEADY WORK. “ 40 years later in the movie industry as he’s one of the highest paid actors in the world who really doesn’t NEED to work now. But when movie studios are willing to pay you anywhere from $50 000-$50 000 000 for a role?? You KNOW YOUR A DAMN GOOD WORKER. Sorry. ACTOR!! Lol.

[@DrJones20]

$50 000 000? Lay off the crack

[@philosopher0076]

@@DrJones20 He got over $40,000,000 just a few years ago ..an old actor, for his brief appearance in Blade Runner 2049. So no crack needed for the truth of his earnings.

[@DrJones20]

@@philosopher0076 What an absurd amount. He's not even as good as he used to be when younger.

[@noellecox3952]

Barry norman interview my favourite actor love him in the three Indian Jones movies si star wars and patroit games and clear and present danger

[@swf4841]

Yep he definitely didn’t do another Star Wars film and only one more Indiana Jones. Spot on.

[@steadfastandyx4947]

He forgot he was in Apocalypse Now! That says something.

[@tmgreview5766]

These are very good but please can you post the Batman & Do The Right Thing reviews?

[@ppuh6tfrz646]

4:02 He got the room number right but the name wrong.

[@borednow5838]

Boy he is dry, but actually quite well spoken. The low light looking back must be his claim that he wasn't going to do anymore Star Wars and only one more Indy film. Opps!

[@ScottClark-u6t]

A thoughful interviewer which gets the best out of Harrison

[@stewmott3763]

06:10 'Why Mr Norman, are you flirting with me?'

[@scottclark3139]

thoughtful interview

[@samuraijoke16]

He’s talking about he’s done with Indiana Jones and Star Wars I guess that was a misconception

[@osbournerudock8587]

"I'm not going to do another Star Wars film...." Oh dear.....he speaketh with forked tongue.

[@davidjames579]

In 1985 he would have walked over hot coals rather than do a sequel to Blade Runner.

[@ilichjames]

Was it mr jones or mr ellis

[@kimw200blaze4]

Yeah, people go to watch DC and Marvel films in the 21st century, to get an emotional connection? I think when he said this, he genuinely and probably believed it. Lol. How things change. Hollywood at the end of the day, is a business like McDonalds. They will just serve up, whatever customers will just continually want to lap up. And in this case, it's these big DC and Marvel movies with the big special effects. He also believed back then, that he was not going to to do another Star Wars movie. Lol

[@47imagine]

I can tell the year simply by Harrison's hairstyles. This is not 1985. He was in Rusty mode here (aka Presumed Innocent) so it must be 1990

[@vhsvideovault]

It's definitely 1985. He talks about doing another Indiana Jones at some point in the future, which would be The Last Crusade (1989) which preceded Presumed Innocent. Here's my blog about that whole tape this interview was on. It's definitely 21st May 1985. It's even from a programme called Film 85, vhistory.wordpress.com/2016/02/28/dr-who-and-the-daleks-tape-53/

[@markant9534]

Barry Norman looks to young for it to be 1990.

[@davidjoe3368]

He looks like John Book from the Movie Witness in this Interview! Definitely around 1984 - 1985.

[@Andrew-dp5kf]

He was a great interviewer, sad this level of reality isn’t a thing anymore .

[@abulkalam2671]

lol I belive now we are in the future he did do another indiana jones and even another starwars great interview non the less

[@ImpartiallySpeaking]

Barry Norman RIP

[@Filmmaker809]

And yes he did because Disney came knocking!

[@KZ1211-t2q]

Funny how he said he would never do another Star Wars film. If he only knew....

[@msd5808]

But they do go to watch movies for special effects.

[@MikeHarrisHazchem77]

The first answer is exactly why the sequel Trilogy didn't work.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

He could had been a young Frank Drebin.

[@duncanbick6732]

No more Star Wars films and one more Indiana Jones. If only he had stuck to that!

Not another Star Wars.... really? 🤔

[@cupidstunt22]

“And why not...”

[@ilichjames]

Never say never

[@sahej6939]

Mosquito 🦟 Coast! He’s not overwhelmed by the action in Indiana nor the special effects in Star Wars! Who is the blow hard Exec he’s talking about? Thankful James Garner broke the Studio System!

[@rde4017]

He was fit!

[@dvsdvsdvs329]

Interesting

[@SepulchreBrit]

oh Barry you flirt you

[@markant9534]

He was married.

[@macmonmacmon8111]

Yes, Harrison, one more Indy was enough.

[@sahej6939]

Nope! 2023 Indy!

[@stephenkissane4268]

Then he made a fairly crappy episode 7

[@robertwilson214]

Barry liked European arthouse rubbish, he probably hated the godfather cos it came from America.

[@dutchmountainsnake5379]

Harrison did not age very well

[@juliashar]

did not age well? he is 77 and looks great. i dont know how old you are but i am 52 now and that is when you start seeing signs of aging. it is part of life if one is lucky enough to be alive

[@garymaclaren7191]

Yea, he's nearly 80, and still in great shape.
